Finally felting some Cormo from my ram, Dan. I think he is 3 or 4 years old now, bought him when he was 3 or 4 months old. He is not my kind of male, short,stumpy and wrinkled, but he has the most uniform and finest fleece af any Cormo I have seen, and I checked out a few before settling on him. He is also a very nice ram. My BFL is one of the meanest rams I have ever had. He has the body and the fiber, but a bad attitude. It's hard to find everything in one male, fortunately with sheep you can use a different one to fix the traits you like. Felted 2 scarves, one from each ram, both fibers felted easily, the Cormo a little softer, the BFL dyes brighter. |
